Above the main hall of the imperial palace.

Li Fengnian, the King of Northern Liang, respectfully invited Jiang Tian to sit on the dragon throne.

“Li Fengnian, this dragon throne is what you, the King of Beiliang, should have done,” Jiang Tian said with a smile.

“Lord Jiang, you are the true king in our Northern Liang. With Lord Jiang in our Northern Liang, I, the humble king, would never dare to be presumptuous.”

"My lord, please sit here in peace."

After the King of Beiliang finished speaking, he clapped his hands.

Soon, the palace maids and eunuchs sprang into action.

A dazzling array of delicious dishes filled the table for everyone.

Hundreds of carefully selected dancers performed enchanting dances to the rhythm of the music.

The King of Beiliang sat next to Jiang Tian.

This guy kept raising his glass to toast Jiang Tian.

After three cups of wine...

The King of Beiliang turned to the side and whispered in the general's ear, "Lord Jiang, I have a request."

“Speak…” Jiang Tian put down his wine glass.

"From this day forward, we, the Northern Liang, will be a vassal state of the Great Xia for generations to come. We, the Northern Liang, will never have any disloyal intentions. If we break this oath, may we be punished by heaven and earth."

Jiang Tian nodded.

Faced with absolute strength.

It is only natural that a small country like Northern Liang would willingly become a vassal state.

Jiang Tian's formidable strength not only instilled fear in the Northern Liang, but also in the Western Xia, Tubo, and Dali.

"Xiao Wang, we have carefully selected four beautiful actresses for the roles these past few days. We hope you will not refuse them, sir."

"In addition, Xiao Wang also selected some gifts for the important person."

I wonder if these gifts are presentable enough.

"Bring it here so I can take a look."

Li Fengnian clapped his hands.

The music stopped abruptly.

The dozens of beautiful dancers also withdrew one by one.

"Wait a minute..." Jiang Tian quickly said.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Li Fengnian stood there, stunned.

"Since you're giving this to me, just deliver it to my room. I don't want my woman to be seen in public."

Jiang Tian's words were very clear.

Since Jiang Tian had Li Fengnian take those four women to his room, it meant that Jiang Tian had already accepted these four women.

"Thank you, sir..."

…………

An army of 800,000 was stationed outside the city.

For the next three or four days, they all wanted to go into the city to see Jiang Tian.

But after waiting for three or four days, I still didn't receive any reply.

The Tibetan prince and his companions were at a loss for what to do.

Even if you tell them to leave, they don't dare to go.

They have been denied permission to enter the city.

The four men huddled together, drinking in silence.

“Gentlemen, we can’t stay on their territory forever.” The Tibetan prince sighed deeply, picked up the mare’s milk wine in his bowl, and drank it all in one gulp. “Our provisions are almost exhausted, sir. If you don’t see us soon, we’ll have no choice but to turn back.”

Duan Yanqing nodded repeatedly: "Our food supplies have run out, and we can only buy food supplies from the locals."

"However, this is a considerable expense, and we really don't know what to do."

Just then, the guards at the entrance of the military camp rushed in.

"Your Highness, Lord Jiang's carriage has arrived at the gate."

Upon hearing this, the Tibetan prince and his companions stood up abruptly.

"Brothers, we must hurry and go to greet the master."

Just as the group rushed to the tent entrance, Jiang Tian's car screeched to a halt with a drift.

Everyone was startled.

"We pay our respects to Your Excellency." The four Tibetan princes stood there respectfully.

"Let's go inside and talk." Jiang Tian jumped out of the car.

He went straight to the central command tent.

"Quickly slaughter the sheep and cattle."

"Let the girls greet our guests from afar."

"Bring up all the best mare's milk wine for me."

As the Tibetan prince spoke, he rushed toward the central military tent.

Upon arriving at the central command tent, several people surrounded Jiang Tian and seated him in the main seat.

Jiang Tian sat down, and only then did the others dare to sit down.

"The master has already slaughtered the sheep, and the mare's milk wine is already being heated on the stove."

Jiang Tian nodded: "I have something I want to ask you here."

"Please speak, sir?"

“A few days ago I sent Ling Yunzhi to ask you, why are you three families, with nearly 800,000 troops, still being driven by the Kushans?”

Everyone was stunned when Jiang Tian said this.

They were at a loss for words.

"say."

The Tibetan prince said tremblingly, "Five years ago, King Bahubali led an army of 2 million straight to Tibet."

"Did you fight?"

The Tibetan prince shook his head: "The enemy has an army of 2 million, while our army combined only has 300,000 to 400,000."

King Bahubali boasted to his father that he could organize an army of 10 million at any time to crush our Tibet.

How could we dare offend someone like that?

Jiang Tian then looked at Li Yuanhao, the great general of Western Xia, and Duan Yanqing, the prince of Dali.

The accounts of Li Yuanhao and Duan Yanqing are similar to those of the Tibetan prince.

None of these countries fought against the Kushans; they were intimidated by their overwhelming power.

"How do you think of the Kushans' fighting strength after today's battle?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

“They are utterly vulnerable.” The Tibetan prince spoke first. “We didn’t expect their fighting strength to be so weak. To call them a rabble would be an understatement.”

Li Yuanhao: "When we followed them on their march, we found that their army marched without any order or method. King Bahubali seemed to be an amateur in commanding battles."

A few days ago, King Baahubali essentially left his men to be slaughtered without any command.

Duan Yanqing: "When we heard that the adults had killed 300,000 enemy soldiers with 2,000 soldiers in one hour, we didn't believe it at first."

In our view, even if the other side had 300,000 pigs, it would be enough for an adult to slaughter for a while.

"The battle five days ago showed us that the Kushans are no good at fighting."

"They are utterly useless except for bragging."

This was the unanimous assessment of everyone present.

Jiang Tian nodded.

Soon, steaming hot mare's milk wine and butter tea were served.

Hand-pulled mutton was placed in front of everyone.

Inside the tent, a fire was lit, and pieces of roasted lamb legs, already half-cooked, hung on a rack.

These roasted lamb legs emitted a wonderful aroma.

The mutton soup was topped with layers of cauliflower, making it look exceptionally delicious.

Jiang Tian took a piece of hand-pulled mutton, dipped it in some chive blossoms, and began to eat it heartily.

Only after seeing Jiang Tian make a move did everyone dare to act.

Soon, everyone was toasting and drinking.

The atmosphere inside the tent gradually relaxed.

After a few drinks, everyone became less reserved and started talking freely.

Jiang Tian put a piece of hand-pulled mutton into his mouth, and immediately, a milky aroma filled his mouth.

"Everyone, I have something to tell you." Jiang Tian swallowed the piece of mutton he had just eaten.
